Update News
Europa Universalis IV Res Publica Expansion Pack Announced
New Methods of Governance and Trade Coming Soon
STOCKHOLM — JUNE 17, in
the year of our Lord 2014 — Paradox Interactive and
Paradox Development Studio today revealed the third expansion
for Europa Universalis IV, the award-winning grand strategy game
of empire-building and global domination. The new mini
expansion, entitled Res Publica, will introduce new systems of
governance and trade to the game, including an all-new
government type and several new Idea Groups for ambitious
strategists to explore. The mini expansion is scheduled to
release this summer for Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs.
Res Publica, a Latin phrase meaning “Public Affairs,” expands
upon the critically acclaimed strategy game Europa Universalis
IV, providing players with even more ways to rewrite history and
tell their unique stories of conquest. In Res Publica, dictators
and diplomats will discover new ways to manage and govern their
empires, including additional ways to influence growth, sway the
balance of power, and maintain – or shatter – a nation’s
stability.
Res Publica adds the following features to the game’s affairs:
• Republic Affairs: Grow your influence with the Merchant
Republic faction to create new trade posts and reap bonuses, or
exploit the inner power struggles of the Dutch Republic and
their unique election events
• Meet the New Boss: Try the all-new Republican Dictatorship
government type, and decide between increases in power or
Republic Tradition in new in-game opportunities and events
• Don’t Fight the Power: Retain power for the ruling family by
backing heirs in Elective Monarchies; boost your growth with the
National Focus bonus and spend your points on Administrative,
Diplomatic, or Military Power
Res Publica will provide grand strategy fans with their broadest
set of choices and tactics yet when it releases this summer.
